Strasburg School District 31J

The Strasburg School District 31J in Colorado serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district faces some academic challenges, with most schools performing below state averages on standardized tests, but also presents opportunities to support its diverse student population and leverage the benefits of small school environments.

Strasburg Elementary School stands out as the largest school in the district, with a diverse student body and higher-than-average 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency. However, the school's overall test scores are generally lower than state averages. Strasburg High School also has a diverse student population and higher-than-average 9th-grade PSAT/Reading and Writing proficiency, but its overall SAT scores lag behind state benchmarks. Prairie Creek High School, the smallest school with just 13 students, has a very low student-teacher ratio but lacks available data on its academic performance.

Across the Strasburg School District 31J, the schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities. The district as a whole is ranked 83 out of 116 in Colorado and rated 2 stars out of 5, indicating room for improvement in academic outcomes. However, the district's diverse student population and small school dynamics present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help all students succeed.
